Mantel Border (Lily Center) - May Morris

Counted Cross Stitch Pattern

A reproduction of a flowered mantel border by the William Morris company. The original was silk embroidery on linen and our cross stitch version has the look of the original embroidery. The center flowers are fanciful pink lilies, with red tulips on the outside, all surrounded by acanthus leaves. We also offer a version with a Tulip Center (lilies on the outside). (About 1900)
